Loved the cruise, ship is beautiful. Food could have been better (but I'm hard to please). Pina Coladas were the best! Can't wait to travel again, ..would I go on AOS again? Yes, I would.

Main dining room is beautiful. Food is mediocre. We never went to the buffet.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Adult pool was nice, did not use the water slides, rock wall, or mini golf.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Didn't care for the lead act, singers, dancers, etc. Comedian was a riot. Band on the promenade was great.

Children's Programs

We didn't bring kids

Ships layout is wonderful. Very clean. Loved the promenade and the nice restaurants they have there.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This is a brand new room. It is on deck 12. Panoramic windows, floor to ceiling. Smelled so clean and fresh. Saloon Diaz was our room attendant and couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.

Ship tip

Take it all in. Tour the ship and get acclimated to its layout. Schooner bar was our favorite, check out the activities at the bars and at the venues. We missed the ice show and are sorry we missed it.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We did not do an excursion here but stayed at the embassy suites the night before. Love San Juan and can't wait to return. Very friendly people, nice beaches.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
We booked an excursion thru Shipmate.com and did not like this excursion. Do not book the REGGAE BEACH TOUR. Rip off!

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Beautiful island. Took a cab to Cockleshell Beach. Was not impressed with this beach at all.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
Beautiful island and gorgeous beach. Booked excursion thru Shipmate.com. They took us to Ffryes beach. Very pretty and not overcrowded. AND, just one person selling their wares, unlike most islands were you are inundated with vendors.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
This is probably the nicest island we visited. But, cab driver took us to a beach that had the most "vendors" even walking into the water to follow you. We went to Rodney Bay Beach. Very crowded.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
We did the "Resort for a Day" at the Hilton, booked thru Shipmate.com. Beautiful beach, soft sand and very nice pool. Only problem was the rough surf. Make sure you hang on to your bathing suit!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
